Subject: HI
Dear friend,
I have to thank God this moment for his direction asregards this
mission. God wants me to complete this mission hence, I gotyour contact,
but I know you may be wondering how I got your contactemail.
Actually you were introduced to me by a trusted contact in U.K. I was informed
by the doctor that my condition has become so bad, so I hadto reach out
for a christian friend, that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct here in, which is the way my husband has alwayswanted the
money to be utilized. I want to beleive that you are a God
fearing person which will enable us conclude this deal on agood note.
My husband earned this funds(17.8million dollars) from hisministry but
he died and left everything behind and I will join him soonin Jesus
name. I want you to claim this funds which has already been transferred
to a private finance company abroad. My lawyer will preparethe paperwork and
fax them to you in your name as the beneficiary, you will
receive it like a gift from God and you will use it to bless other less
fortunate christian believers and in assisting the less privilegded children in the
society, and also to build a temple for Gods people to comeand worship his majesty.
So this funds you will receive on my behalf as gift from adying family
cos due to my infertility resulting from medical problems Ibecame
barren and as a result have no children, God has a reasonfor everything.
Furthermore, you will never have any problem with the lawas you will
only pay some amount to the government as tax and a minor percentage to
settle the charges of the bank and the most major part youwill use to
bless God's Children all over the world.
Kindly forward me your full name, address telephone & faxnumbers
